Description contact 2016-05-27 14:22:53 UTC
Description of problem:

Using Command line openconnect I am able to connect to my work VPN as:
sudo openconnect --juniper vpn.xxxx.xxx

However the GUI does not seem to have a provision for passing the --juniper switch. Would it be possible to add this ability to the GUI so those of us needing the juniper switch do not need to keep a terminal going in the background for VPN?

Would it be possible to push the changes to the f24 branch and make an update?

Comment 2 David Woodhouse 2016-09-23 09:43:55 UTC
Does this not already work? Create a NM VPN of type 'anyconnect' and then go into it and change the protocol. 

You don't get the nice pretty top-level choice of Juniper without some more intrusive changes to NM which aren't easy to backport. But you can do it this way, I think.

Comment 3 Tadej Janež 2016-09-23 10:06:08 UTC
No, it doesn't work that way.

And even manually adding it via:

nmcli con add type vpn con-name "Juniper" ifname "*" vpn-type openconnect -- vpn.data "gateway=<gateway-address>,protocol=nc"

doesn't work.

Here is an example log output for a failed connection:

I've rebuilt NetworkManager-openconnect from f25/rawhide (https://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/NetworkManager-openconnect.git/commit/?id=452f8438f66b26e88c1eaaedf87f258ed237c225) locally and manually added the connection, i.e. there is no way to change the protocol to "nc" in the GUI.

Then things work and I get the "nice" realm, username, password GUI dialog.

Comment 4 David Woodhouse 2016-09-23 10:31:48 UTC
Hm yes, I added that later didn't I?

I've updated the package in rawhide, and it should allow you to select the protocol via the GUI. Please could you test that; if it's working nicely for you then I'll look at pushing it to F2[45].

Thanks.

Great, thanks!

Will the protocol selection in GUI work with NetworkManager that's in Fedora 24 (NetworkManager-1.2.4-2.fc24.x86_64)?

I'll rebuild and test the package ASAP.

Comment 6 David Woodhouse 2016-09-23 11:57:16 UTC
Yes, the updated NM-openconnect package should work with the version of NetworkManager that's in F24.

Great.

I've rebuild and tested:
NetworkManager-openconnect-1.2.3-0.20160923gitac5cdf.fc24.x86_64
NetworkManager-openconnect-gnome-1.2.3-0.20160923gitac5cdf.fc24.x86_64

and it works (the GUI protocol chooser also works as advertised).
